Socket set BAHCO SW79 — drive sizes 1/2" and 1/4"

BAHCO SW79 — drive sizes 1/2" and 1/4" socket set contains a selection of sockets and accessories intended for use with 1/2" and 1/4" drive tools.

Sockets and accessories are made to match standard tool interfaces for reliable fit and torque transfer. The compact storage layout keeps parts organised and simple to identify, improving workflow and reducing time spent searching for the right size. Materials and manufacturing tolerances support frequent use in maintenance and repair environments.

How to use

Select the socket matching the fastener size, attach it to the appropriate drive tool (1/2" or 1/4"), and ensure the connection is secure before applying torque. Use a ratchet or extension as required to reach confined spaces or increase leverage. After use, clean any dirt or grease from the sockets and return them to the organiser to maintain order and prevent corrosion. Follow standard safety practices: wear appropriate hand protection and avoid applying torque beyond the tool or fastener rating.

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life, store the set in a dry environment, inspect sockets for wear or rounding before use, and avoid using sockets with impact tools unless they are specifically rated for impact service. For precise fastening, use a torque wrench with the correct drive size and socket to achieve the specified tightening values.
